Chapter XXXVIII chafing dish
From a distance, I saw the elders chatting with the elders in the village, laughing from time to time.
When they entered, the old man saw it, waved at them, and motioned for them to come.
"And Grandpa"
"Daddy"
"Well, why did you come out for a turn today, and don't rest at home." He Lao was a little unhappy, and finally came back for two days, and he didn't take the opportunity to rest, and he came out to run around
"It's okay, we're just going to come out and have a look." Cui Ying replied.
"Well, let's go back when we come out and have a look. Rest well today, and it's not too late to come out tomorrow. The body is the most important. "And the old still not at ease.
The two nodded, stayed at the entrance of the village with He Lao for a while, and then walked back, and asked He Lao to go back to eat, and specially explained that it was Xiang Tianqi who cooked.
It was still a little early for Xiang Tianqi and Cuiying to go home, and the two of them were in the courtyard, and they had not come back from the village with Lao Zai, and they went to the door with their grandmother with Xiaobao, so there were only two of them at home.
Xiang Tianqi was thinking about how to use this pepper, whether to make Sichuan series dishes or make hot pot. It's just that this hot pot is reserved for Hutchison, if it is given to Zhenwei, then what will Hutchison do in the future, can't he also open a restaurant. So it's better to open a hot pot restaurant. But she still hasn't thought about opening a traditional hot pot restaurant or making a modern style of self-service hot pot.
Xiang Tianqi was thinking seriously, and it would be noon after a while.
"Xiaoqi, it's noon, you said you were going to cook, what are you going to do at noon today?" Cui Ying shook Xiang Tianqi, who couldn't hear her.
"Huh? Oh, and what else to cook at home? If you don't have a lot of them, go to the backyard to pull some out, and call Heqiang and the patriarch at noon. Xiang Tianqi was interrupted by Cuiying's shaking, and when she heard Cuiying ask, she suddenly thought that she could discuss it with the elder and the patriarch, they must have more ideas about this kind of thing, after all, they are natives of ancient times, and they still know better. So, his eyes lit up and he said to Cui Ying.
"Oh, the vegetables are fine, cabbage, potatoes, white radish, is it enough?" Cui Ying didn't know what Xiang Tianqi was going to do.
"Not enough, so you can wash these things first, then slice the potatoes and turnips, and I'll go to the backyard to pull vegetables," he said, getting up and running to the backyard. Cuiying was left confused.
Xiang Tianqi ran to the backyard like a wind, looking at a large piece of green that was growing happily, and his eyes were glowing green.
Haha, spinach, leeks, carrots, and sweet potatoes, spicy hot pot I'm here! It's a pity that there are these kinds of dishes here, and I haven't seen oil wheat lettuce here, which is a must-have for shabu-shabu! There are also tofu, meatballs, lamb slices, fungus...... Forget it, it's enough to just think about these kinds, don't say tofu, you can't afford to eat it, there are no meatballs, mutton, you can't buy it now, fungus...... Hey, I haven't seen the fungus until now, so I'll go back and look for it. Alas, her frozen tofu, her yuba!
Xiang Tianqi shook his head while pulling out the existing dishes. I miss her tofu. It suddenly occurred to her that she actually had "inventory" in her head, and she didn't know about the preparation method of tofu in this era, but she knew how to make modern tofu! Although it has been done, as long as there is theory, is it still far from practice?
Xiang Tianqi was excited, her tofu had hope. But he hesitated for a moment. She knows a lot of things, and she knows a lot of things that are very advanced for this era, but do she have to take them all out? There is also Heshi, I can help for a while, but I can't help for a lifetime. Xiang Tianqi was confused.
Thinking about things in her head, the movements of her subordinates slowed down, and she didn't come back to her senses until Cui Ying saw that she was not returning for a long time and came to the backyard to call her.
Forget it, I don't want to, let's do this well first.
Xiang Tianqi put away the things at hand, picked them up and walked to the front yard.
"Cuiying, I suddenly remembered, is there a mutton seller nearby?" Xiang Tianqi asked.
"Lamb? No, I think that the hernia is too heavy, no one eats it, and even if it is far from the village, there is still some pork. Cui Ying wondered what Xiang Tianqi asked what the mutton was for, that thing tasted bad, and no one here liked to eat it.
"Oh, well, you wash these dishes, and I'll cut the pork." Xiang Tianqi was worried that Cuiying would not be able to cut it well, so he decided to get the pork himself and let Cuiying wash the vegetables.
Cui Ying took a large bundle of vegetables handed over by Xiang Tianqi, glanced at her, and turned around to get the vegetable pot to prepare to wash the vegetables. Xiang Tianqi walked to the cabinet where the pork was placed, took out the properly preserved pork, put it on the board, picked up the kitchen knife and washed it, and was ready to start.
Don't look at Xiang Tianqi who usually doesn't cook here, but her knife skills are good, after all, in modern times, she is usually alone, so she cooks by herself, but later with Li Jia's situation, the dishes are better.
I saw Xiang Tianqi, the knife was fast, and I only heard the sound of "whoosh", and the knife was left with slices of meat! Thin slices of meat are neatly arranged on the board, as if they are ready to be reviewed.
Xiang Tianqi picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks, raised his hand, and looked at it in the light, well, very satisfied, the meat slice is about two millimeters thick, the whole is smooth, no one is too thick or one is too thin, the size is appropriate, and it seems that there is light shining through in the sun.
"Yes, my craft is still so good! It's a shame not to be a chef! Alas......" looked back and forth at the meat slices, Xiang Tianqi said narcissistically, and then shook his head, as if she didn't want to be a chef was really a big loss to the chef world.
Place the slices of meat on a plate and stack them. Set aside. Xiang Tianqi began to prepare the bottom of the pot.
Her favorite is the spicy pot bottom, the authentic Chongqing hot pot! It tastes numb and spicy, it's called a pleasure! Especially in the summer, I am eating hot pot and drinking cold beer with the air conditioner on! That's cool!!
It's time to make the hot pot base. Xiang Tianqi took out several new spices she had found in the town and put them aside to prepare. Soak the prepared dried chili peppers in water for a while, during which she will prepare the spices such as cloves, grass fruits, nutmeg, cumin, cinnamon, star anise, sand kernels, bay leaves and grass rows, cut them into small sections, and soak them in water.
Then cut the garlic and ginger into foam and set aside, and prepare some peppercorns and peppercorns. After waiting for a while, the chili peppers and seasonings are ready to be soaked and drained.
There was no cooking machine here, so Xiang Tianqi had to get started and use the most primitive method. Pack these in a large bag, lay them on the stones, roll them back and forth with a rolling pin a few times, then pour them out on a cutting board, and chop them into pieces with a kitchen knife.
Pour part of the oil into the pot, then pour the previously broken dry spices into it, turn on low heat in the cold pan, boil slowly for about 15-20 minutes, and when the spices are browned and dry, use a homemade strainer to filter the boiled spice oil into another pot on the side.
Add the spice oil just fried in the other pot, then mix the bean paste and oil chili into the spice oil, add ginger and garlic, dried pepper and sesame pepper, and a tablespoon of vegetable oil to simmer over low heat. After about 15 minutes, add a glass of wine they drank yesterday, and continue to fry until the raw materials are almost dry, add the fried dried spice crushed and continue to fry, until the raw materials are almost nine minutes dry, and then dry peppercorns and dried chili peppers, and fry for another 5-10 minutes.
I saw that as she slowly stir-fried, a unique fragrance wafted out. The familiar taste tempted Xiang Tianqi's taste buds, which were already ready to move. The speed of stir-frying under his hands increased.
"Ah, what is the girl doing today? It smells so good. And the old voice came from the door.
Turning his head, he turned out to be looking at the kitchen door.
In ancient times, there was a saying that 'a gentleman cooks far away', even if it is a countryman, a man does not go to the kitchen. So no matter how greedy he is, he can only smell at the door, scratching his heart and lungs. I can't wait for Xiang Tianqi to do it immediately, and then start eating.
"Wait a while with grandpa, it's almost ready, you go out first, the kitchen is too choked." And the patriarch will be here in a while, so you have to accompany him. "Xiang Tianqi will rush out with the old man, worried about choking with the old man, and then the patriarch is indeed here, can't be accompanied by no one, although it is said that the relationship is very close, but after all, someone from the family is coming, and there is someone to accompany him.
When I heard it, I remembered that Cui Ying had said that she was going to talk to everyone just now. Then he reluctantly left the kitchen.
As he walked, he said, "Xiaoqi, hurry up, grandpa, I smell you, and I'm even hungrier." ”
"Got it, it's almost good, and you can take out your wine first, today's meal, there will be more fragrant wine!" Xiang Tianqi had no choice but to say this in order to divert the attention of the old man.
Not to mention, when I heard that there was such a good thing, I hurriedly walked to the house, and now there is a reason to take a sip, see what my wife says, this is what Xiao Qi said, you have to eat this meal with wine, otherwise you can't eat.
If Xiang Tianqi knew that He Lao was now afraid that he would fall to the ground, ...... I'm just saying that this meal will be more fragrant if there is wine, when did you say that you can't eat without wine, so you won't deliberately misinterpret my words in order to drink!
Once you've got the base, the vegetables, and the meat, it's time to dip the sauce.
Eating hot pot, Xiang Tianqi's favorite thing is to dip mahjong, put some tofu milk, put some leek flowers, put some sesame seeds and crushed peanuts, dip a mouthful, and leave a mouthful of fragrance! It's a pity that there are only mahjong and sesame here, and the others are not available for the time being.
Alas, it seems that in ancient times, there were only raw materials, and if you want to eat the things of the later generations, you still have to do it yourself!
Let's do this for today, and then we'll come back and do the rest.
Xiang Tianqi found mahjong in the bazaar, but it did not have the purity and mellowness of later generations, so he could only make do with it for the time being. At that time, when she bought this, several people didn't understand why she bought it, and this thing is usually bought and eaten by large families.
Xiang Tianqi adjusted the mahjong, put some sesame seeds and chopped some leeks, and put them in a bowl separately, which was used as leek flowers.
I looked at the materials and prepared them, but how did this go, and then I remembered the main problem.
(Chongqing hot pot, Xiao Xian's favorite!) Do you have a favorite? It's just that I don't know how to make the base material, so I checked it on the Internet, and it may not be too accurate, but let's make do with it, after all, we're not here to write recipes, and we didn't point to the recipes, it's almost there. But if there are children's boots in Chongqing, you can leave a message to tell us the authentic method, of course, I must be looking forward to such children's boots, quack. Dear people in Chongqing, Sichuan, come out quickly! Okay, there was a wave of poison in the night, so sleepy, sleep, (¦3[▓▓] Good night)
